So at this point, the X100 beats the EOS M in:AFErgonomicsIQOverall UseabilitySpeed

Anything the M has an advantage in? Maybe size, but is it pocket-able?

I dunno, I was originally looking at the Olympus EPL5...

Eos M advantages -

1. No need to learn a new menu system. 2. Ability to use your existing Canon lenses via adapter. 3. A Canon hotshoe, no need for additional triggers for off camera flash.4. Pocketable (with 22 f/2 lens and large jacket pockets!)5. Magic Lantern 6. Higher resolution7. Larger screen with anti smudge coating that actually works (and it's touchscreen but this could also be a disadvantage)8. Works with Canon RC-1, 5 and 6. 9. Has Touch shutter feature that allows you to select a focus point, AF and take a picture by tapping the screen. (Still not found a good use for this though!)

Of course some of these advantages are Canon user specific. If you already have Canon accessories. In a straight up head to head the Fuji wins. No contest.

Since you have a 6D (and presumably suitable accoutrements) I'd opt for the M - but only because it's part ofa "system" camera. Standalone choice, X100 wins hands down, but the price difference also allows you to get the EOS lens adapter so you can use your other "stuff". Another key difference is video if it's important to you.

#9 Have you used the touch shutter? In candid situations I can be sitting around with a friend and point to the back of the camera - choose the subject and the camera will focus and take the pictures. As long as you don't hold the camera up at eye level it appears that you are simply showing your friend some pictures you've taken and are pointing out something in some picture of the camera. In a tight crowd or even when taking family pictures (works with kids really well), you can get some candid's that you simply could not get by holding your camera up to your eye. Even with point and shoots without the touch shutter, people are aware whenever you have your finger on the shutter button and the camera is pointed toward them. With touch shutter, you never touch the shutter button -- after all you are just showing a friend an already captured photo - right.....

By the way, #2 trumps All other EVF cameras currently if you are heavily invested in Canon glass. Unless you are heavily invested in some other APS-C line of lenses, #2 is Me_Me_Me over all other considerations although you forgot to mention the $300 price for body and a really decent lens. What APS-C with 18 MP or more for $300 is there? (I know B&H is now $350). I have a few of these for different purposes and many of my friends are buying them up when they can.

10. $400 cheaper!

I thought price was an obvious one that OP and rest of the forum are aware of by now so I left it out!

I have to give it a try again. Last time it kept taking pictures while it was hanging round my neck! I wonder if I was sat down like you said with the beep off, maybe it could work. I agree with finger on the trigger people take notice!

One compelling benefit of the X-100 is the 1/1000s flash synch vs the 1/200 of the Eos-M. In addition, the x-100 has an inbuilt ND filter. Combined, these give you some interesting options for shooting with flash and a wide aperture in sunlight.

To me, the decision boils down to this. If you are comfortable with the fixed lens, then the X-100 is a very nice camera. If you prefer the extra flexibility of interchangeable lenses, especially if you want to retain autofocus with Canon lenses, then the Eos-M is the obvious choose. But I'll thrown in another thought for free - the X-100 is a camera that people want to use, whereas the Eos-M is a camera many people purchase simply because it is heavily discounted.
